When you visit a property, whether as an invited guest, member of the public, customer, employee, etc., the owner of that property has a duty to minimize your chances of being injured in an avoidable accident. Although some accidents are random occurrences for which no one is to blame, to a reasonable degree, a property owner must address hazardous conditions so they don’t put legal guests in harm’s way.
Have you been injured in the Beverly Hills area because a property owner was negligent? Review your case with a Beverly Hills premises liability attorney at the Law Offices of Howard Kornberg if you need to. We may be able to help you receive compensation for your medical bills and other losses resulting from your accident.
Common Types of Beverly Hills Premises Liability Cases
There are various ways a property owner’s negligence can put your safety at risk. Hazardous conditions a property owner may fail to eliminate or provide a warning of include:
- Wet floors
- Tripping hazards, such as loose flooring that should be replaced
- Exposed wires
- Lack of proper security
- Poor outdoor lighting, which can make it difficult for guests to spot tripping hazards at night
Those are just a few examples. In some instances, it’s not easy to determine whether property owner negligence played a major role in an accident.
This is one of many reasons it’s wise to schedule a consultation at a Beverly Hills premises liability law firm after being injured on someone else’s property. An expert can help you better understand if you have grounds to pursue financial compensation.
Seeking Compensation After a Beverly Hills Premises Liability Accident
Being injured on someone else’s property could leave you in need of medical treatment. You may be unprepared to pay for said treatment. Additionally, you may struggle to earn an income if your injuries interfere with your ability to work while you recover.
Some of the losses you may incur after an accident might not even have an objective financial value. Such losses include your pain and suffering.
You deserve to receive compensation for these losses and damages if your accident wouldn’t have occurred had a property owner not been careless. Seeking the compensation you’re owed will typically involve filing a claim with the negligent property owner’s insurance.
